Top Ten Most Oversaturated Rock/Metal Songs of All Time

The Top Ten
1 Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

This is definitely one of the best songs of all time. It's an innovative piece of operatic rock music. But...it's pretty overrated. This isn't Queen's best, and it's certainly not the best song I've personally heard. I also find it really predictable to call it the best out there. But to be honest, this is the best song in the Top 3 on the best songs of all time list. Stairway to Heaven is great, but severely overrated, and Imagine is pretty lackluster.

2 Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana

Ah, here's an overrated song. Good instrumentals and vocals, mediocre lyrics, nothing too special for the grunge genre honestly. So...what makes this one of the best songs ever created again? Definitely one of the most overrated songs out there, along with Imagine by John Lennon.

3 Hey Jude - The Beatles

So many better Beatles songs. "A Day in the Life" is a masterpiece, "Come Together" is a classic, "Yesterday" is lovely, "Eleanor Rigby" is also awesome. This is pretty mediocre to me. Same with "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" and "With A Little Help from my Friends". Beatles are very, very overrated.

It’s not even that good a song. The Beatles are also extremely overplayed and (please reference title). The reason their most popular song has 115,000,000 views on YouTube instead of, say, a billion is because they’re so overplayed and oversaturated that nobody really cares about them anymore. But on TTT, I’m just so tired of hearing about them.

4 Man in the Box - Alice in Chains
5 Master of Puppets - Metallica

This is a very good song, but not Metallica's best in my opinion. "One" is my favorite Metallica song.

6 Bleed - Meshuggah
7 Kickstart My Heart - Mötley Crüe

In general, this band is just very overrated and very overplayed and VERY oversaturated. I like them, but they have little to no variety and they’re overplayed.

8 Billie Jean - Michael Jackson

This is actually really, really good pop music and one of MJ's best to me.

9 Don't Stop Believin' - Journey

Element119 showed me other Journey songs, and most of them are way better than this overplayed, overrated piece of music. This is pretty good, don't get me wrong, but it's not THAAATTT great.

I'll be honest, and say I'm shocked this was not on the initial list because this one Journey song is literally everywhere. They have other hits now come on.

10 Paranoid - Black Sabbath

Black Sabbath in general are pretty overrated. Not a fan of Ozzy's vocals.

The Contenders
11 Raining Blood - Slayer
12 In the End - Linkin Park

I have debated long and hard if this is indeed the greatest Linkin Park song I have listen to a ton of them, and this one is great for its time, but I prefer many others before it.

13 Iron Man - Black Sabbath
14 Numb - Linkin Park
15 Boulevard of Broken Dreams - Green Day
